On Ilinykh/Katsalapov splitting and a new partner for Larionov

Yet another coup de théâtre from Russia: after rumors about Ilinykh/Katsalapov splitting, repeated "no comment" from the people concerned and Piseev's emphatic niet, Ilinykh/Katsalapov HAVE split, according to sport-express.ru.

In the mean time it seems confirmed that Bazarova/Larionov split following this season disappointing results. Yuri will stay with Nina Mozer and will skate for Russia with Estonian skater Natalja Zabijako, but it seems the Estonian federation isn't happy at all with this arrangement and not inclined to give its consent. Vera Bazarova may have already found a new partner, but his name has still to be announced.
